3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 3-(Allyloxy)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (1.00 g, 8.19 mmol) and allyl bromide (0.780 mL, 9.01 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (35 mL) was treated with Cs2CO3 (4.01 g, 12.3 mmol) and allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (150 mL), washed with 1N HCl, saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the filtrate concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, using 7% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent) to provide the title compound as a clear oil (1.19 g, 89%).
